Lismore Floodplain Risk Management Plan
The Lismore Floodplain Risk Management Plan is a comprehensive strategy developed to address the risks associated with flooding in the Lismore local government area.
The plan aims to reduce the impact of flooding on the community, the economy, and the environment through a range of measures, including flood mitigation works, land use planning, emergency management, and community engagement.
The Lismore Floodplain Risk Management Plan aims to minimise the exposure to flood hazard in Lismore’s developed areas and ensure that new development is compatible with the flood hazard and does not create additional flooding problems. Controls that apply to new development in the flood-prone urban areas of Lismore are in Chapter 8 of the Lismore Development Control Plan.
